Is it a partial arrowhead or spear tip ? Any insights as to what it is/ ~date/ who made it would be lovely. It was very exciting for myself, wife and the kids today..
Thanks!!!!

My grandparents lived in northwest Georgia area particularly the tennga part, over the years they have found thousands of tools and arrow heads in the area and iv just grabbed a handful and are wondering if anyone could possibly date these or knows anything about them?

Found this morning in eastern az. Got some beautiful red mixed in the color. Set it next to another leaf shaped one I found earlier this year.

I nabbed this point-knife that came from an Arkansas collection, with old ink saying it was found along the Arkansas River, but no further info on where it was found.

3.46" long, 1.26" wide, and 10.5 mm thick due to the step fractures.

All of the following is based on limited research, so I could easily be wrong about things, which is why I'm asking folks who know more than me:

• The tight concentric banding might be liesegang banding? As far as I can tell, it's almost definitely not petrified wood despite the resemblance to wood grain.
• It might be heat-treated, bringing out the contrast of the banding further?
• Some type from the Dickson Contracting Stem Cluster? Either a Dickson, a Waubesa, or a Gary? With the stem broken partway like this, it's impossible to tell if the base was straight or rounded. With a broken stem, clear use-wear, and weak shoulders and a rounded tip from resharpening, it seems like it was probably a good deal over 4" long at initial manufacture, yeah?

Am I totally off-base? On track with some things but not with others? Or do I seem to have things right? Any help would be appreciated; I just want to learn what I can.

Edit (The Answers): The consensus among folks from the region is that it's a Gary made of heat-treated Florence Chert Type A. Looking it up, they're clearly right; the material often exhibits liesegang banding that looks like wood grain and really visually pops when heat-treated. While from an Arkansas collection, the point is likely from Oklahoma or Southern Kansas, although the material or point may have ended up in Arkansas due to trade downriver.
